Manage a monthly SEO budget of approximately 20,000 to 30,000 EUR, including oversight of external agencies while retaining strategic ownership.

Hands-on technical SEO expertise covering page structure, site architecture, and collaboration with engineering teams on implementation.
Experience managing SEO budgets and working with external agencies while maintaining in-house strategic direction.
